Akira Toriyama was a sigma Gigachad

>>281473037 (OP)
I miss when it was common for shonen characters to beat their wives. Remember when Goku had Broly vaporize Chichi so he could get with Vados? Do you see losers like Deku and Denji doing that?

Denji's a gag character and works towards nothing. He's not meant to be taken seriously because when you do he's disgustingly callous.

>>281473037 (OP)
Denji is pure shit as MC, he killed his own manga. Everyone that reads part2 knows it.

>>281473200
The "classic shonen guy" wasn't a guy, it's an idea, a role model, an ideal man to strive to become. Toriyama created an idealized persona for all men to strive to become. Someone that you wouldn't want seeing you slacking. An idea to put in our mind if you ever question something you have always dreamed of doing. The "Nushonen guy" I would expect to check me out at a cash register. A sightless, shapeless, directionless, slave to his desires. A slave, not even worthy of a heroic death.

>>281473521
Feels like Nushonen went the way of relatibility and grandiose stories are moved to the wayside. Like everyone has to be sarcastic and take the piss out of ambition.

>>281473604
MHA technically doesnt fit that in universe but it seems like metanarratively its the case.

Could it be just literally tied to people irl changing the way they think about things?

>>281473521
Goku is literally superman, a do no wrong faggot with no room for development, hes perfect already, a god basically. Only a child would want to be told a "story" about that.

>Truest to life
Denji is the most braindead coomer i have ever seen in my entire life, this nigger licked a devil's corpse because a rando promised him sex, not even the most unfuckable incel on /a/ would denigrate himself to such extents for the mere promise of sex

wait till you find out what "shonen" translates to

If /dbs/ could read they'd be very upset right now

>>281473731
something tells me you've never read Superman nor Dragon Ball

>>281473372
Goku is literally a gag character in that scene, has no idea what females even are, nor why he should be interested in their body parts
>doesn't give a shit about females trying to manipulate him
Bulma literally manipulates him into coming along by reminding him that he promised his grandfather he's supposed to be nice to girls

>>281474232
You would deepthroat a dead cat's arm if a random whore told you she would fuck you? Even though she is most probably lying?

>>281474275
why just /dbs/? it applies to all shonen threads

>>281474285
>has no idea what females even are
to be fair, neither does denji. that's why females manipulate him so easily over and over again and he falls for it every single time

>>281474292
/dbs/ are the only ones I can think of that cope poorly with that statement. The others already know and believe that to some extent even if they wont say it

>>281474324
what statement? that shonen manga is for the young male demographic?

>>281474354
yes

>>281474287
Yes.
I'd do way worse for the mere promise of closeness to another person.
I'd sell the world out for a hug.

>>281474628
very pathetic desu

>>281474285
>>281474307
Reminder that Denji probably doesn't know what a vagina is because every woman he's seen naked has been some sort of devil with different biology from a human.

>>281475552
grim

>Goku is literally superman, a do no wrong faggot with no room for development, hes perfect already, a god basically.
It's funny, because Toriyama hated this idea of Goku so much he overcorreected and birthed the abomination that is Superku.

>>281474628
You're unironically are doing yourself a disfavor with that approach. If there's anything a woman hates, it's a guy who outwardly projects how desperately he desires intimacy
